Response:
D. The sidelines are parallel because they are perpendicular to a common line.
Justification:
According to the perpendicular transversal theorem, when a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, it is also perpendicular to the other line. Furthermore, the converse of the theorem states that if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, they must be parallel. Therefore, the sidelines are indeed parallel and also perpendicular to this single line.
The answer is A. 55. Explanation: For the 35%, take your 200 and divide it by 2 to yield two 100's. Since 35% equates to a portion of 100%, grab 35 from each 100 and sum them up to reach 70. For the proportion of 3/8, divide which results in 0.375 then multiply by 200 to ascertain that 75 are yellow tags. Adding 75 to 70 provides a total of 145, which when subtracted from 200 results in 55, indicating there are 55 red tags.
To find the original number where 65% equals 1105:
0.65x = 1105
x = 1105 ÷ 0.65
x = 1700... hence, the original number is 1700.
Calculating 82% of 1700:
0.82 * 1700 = 1394 <== this is your answer.
To simplify the expression:
-(6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7
Start with - (6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) = -6 x^3 + 2 x - 3:
-6 x^3 + 2 x - 3 - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7
Next, combine similar terms: -3 x^3 - 6 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x + 2 x - 7 - 3 = (-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3):
(-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)
-3 x^3 - 6 x^3 results in -9 x^3:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)
Combine 4 x and 2 x to get 6 x:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x + (-7 - 3)
The operation -7 - 3 yields -10:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10
Factoring out -1 from -9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10 leads to:
Final Answer: - (9 x^3 - 5 x^2 - 6 x + 10)
